Dear Mom,

bear trap

dear mom,

angie eyes were glued down,

to something.

as i took notice of her eyes,

i looked down,

and almost felt my insides hurling out.

her leg was caught on a bear trap.

the bone was popping out,

as her blood was leaking down,

from her leg.

i saw the puddle of blood,

surrounding her body,

and saw the pale look on her.

she was terrified.

and so was i.

i remember holding her hand gently,

and telling her,

that i was going to get her out of this,

and that this was just a bad dream.

mommy,

she looked at me,

and i could see how she believed me.

i looked around me,

when i found a stick.

i handed her the stick,

and told her to rest it inside of her mouth.

she listened,

and as i dugged my hands,

into the bear trap,

and attempting to lift it up,

i quickly took the stick from her mouth.

and put it inbetween the mouth of the trap.

i could see the tears,

running down her cheek.

i held onto her body,

and told it was going to be fine.

she ended up crying into me,

and screaming out in pain.

as she stopped crying,

i told her with a smile,

that she could have a piggy back ride,

when we returned back home.

of course,

angie was excitited.

i held onto her,

and let her sit on my neck.

we walked around,

and then that's when my mind clicked.

where was marcus?

i asked angie,

and that's when i felt something,

wet go down my skin.

i looked up,

and found angie crying,

as her hands were covering her face.

i asked her what was wrong,

and she was crying harder by this point.

she told me not to be mad at her,

and i promised her i wouldn't.

after she explained to me,

in her small voice,

that was cracking.

i ran towards the closest thing,

that was close to where the bear trap was at.

the lake.

love,

ann
